Who has been taking his place? We are pretty weak at FS

I’ll echo what everyone else is saying, Taylor and his agent royally Blanked this up. Ballard and Irsay both have a tendency to overpay their own guys stemming from decades ago. If he would have kept his head down and had a decent year then he would have ended up being the highest paid RB to date. The timing absolutely couldn’t have been worst either. Like they saw what was going on with Jacob’s Elliot, Cook and Barkley so why did they think anything was going to be different? Especially with that much talent sitting there begging to be paid. He really was turning into an all time favorite to me. I wish someone could get into his head and fire his agent.

Last day in the office before vacation, this thread is going to be the only thing that keeps me sane

Its hammering rain here on the West side of the state. Anyone going be safe!

Thank you @Restinpeacesweetchloe!!!

I am not expecting much at all from Richardson, as a matter of fact I don't really want him playing initially. However I do wanna see some flashes when he does play. He was a total risk and gamble of a pick which hopefully pays off, however if he has a Ryan leaf or Jamarcus Russel type rookie year then we are better grabbing one of the up and coming QB's and trading off Richardson. Gotta think if Maye or William's were sitting there at 4 who would we have taken?

31 other teams, be gone

I’d rather have a FS and a CB. I’m actually holding out a lot of hope with that kid from bama. Our secondary though, that’s really scaring me.

At least a lotto ticket is $2. Honestly that guy was better off spending the $800 on the powerball. Probably better odds to win at that point lol

at SS it goes up half a point, FS it drops to 5.06 IIRC

To say Taylor isn't an elite player is absolutely laughable. I'll agree that he doesn't deserve the same payday McCaffery is getting but as far as a true running back Taylor is better. Has better explosiveness, power and vision. This is coming from someone who favorite collegiate player of all time is CMC. If a player can single handedly put the team on his back and bring in a win then they are elite and that's what Taylor has done for us several times. If the Colts get to any relevancy with in the next 3-5 years and he puts up 3-4 more +1300 rushing yards a year he will at least get some HOF talk when he retires.

an oddity for Ballard

The bitter taste Reich left for me makes it hard to not be biased. Frank couldn’t get out of his own way and wasn’t self aware enough to let go of the offense. Also it sure sounds like Reich let the players do whatever they wanted which definitely showed on the field with lack of discipline. If you’re allowing guys to be late to meetings it’s only headed down from there. Pagano was to loyal to guys and had a bad GM forcing his hand and to me he was ultimately let down by the coaching staff he surrounded himself with. So I guess I’ll go with Bruce Arians.

Awful at guard but has been more then serviceable at center.

G is my biggest. Hopefully the kid from Bama puts on a show but I still feel like it is our biggest weakness. Honestly I am fine at LB. The next one that scares me is actually CB. I know we drafted 3 but wont feel comfortable until i see them play.

Just breathe and relax…. We have our outside 2 guys we can get a slot guy pretty easily in the draft. RG is pretty easy to draft especially in this class.

In a hut that is sound proof with zero light for a week. No interactions with anyone or anything. Used for meditation

He is also not a consensus generational talent like a luck or a manning and is the 3rd ranked QB. We dont have the luxury of #1 without trading an arm and a leg up to get it. Honestly neither Young or Stroud are a generational talent either. All 4 prospects have glaring red flags on them and to get a good read on them you have to watch all their games. You cant just cherry pick them. Heck you can look back on some stroud tape and find glaring issues as well and he had loads of talent on his roster.

I mean you're giving UK a lot of credit to watch them go up some titans. His vandy game was tough. You have to take into account his 2021 tape to get an accurate read on him. FWIW I have stated I didn't want Levi's early on but theres a lot of things to take into consideration instead of watching his low lights.

Hard pass

Idk why they didn’t just rename the thread and merge this one and just keep it rolling honestly

I think dominos will start falling once Watson gets traded, then teams that lose out on him will start burning up some of there space. Plus Jacksonville kinda screwed up the market by way over paying for some guys so other players are trying to get top dollar and it’s not happening. Plus I still feel like it’s a weaker FA class this year.

Don’t worry, we are going -8 and 17 this coming season because we didn’t over pay for mediocrity. iMHO I still think it’s a relatively weaker FA class. Ya some big names but the majority of them have fallen off.
